Introduction to fluorosilicone rubber

Fluorosilicon rubber has excellent oil resistance, solvent resistance, chemical resistance, and high and low temperature resistance. It is an elastomer that combines excellent properties of silicone rubber and fluororubber. It is currently the only rubber material that can be used in lubricating oil and fuel media at -68~230 ℃. It can meet the requirements of sealing, coating, lining, and impregnation processes that are difficult for organic silicon materials or even organic fluorine materials to meet under extreme temperature conditions Technical requirements for oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc. In addition, due to the low surface energy of fluorosilicone rubber, it is also widely used as an oil and solvent resistant lubricant, isolation agent, and defoamer.

Fluorosilicon rubber is also used to prepare fuel and solvent resistant seals, sealing rings, oil seals, diaphragms, conduits, valve liners, rubber hoses, integral fuel tank seals, O-rings, diaphragms, and gaskets for various types of locomotives, aerospace and petrochemical industries. It is also used for surface coating of connecting components and cables, conveyor belts, fabrics, etc. in the power and electronic industries. It is an essential material for the national defense industry, aerospace, and petroleum industries.

At present, the global production and sales of fluorosilicone rubber (mainly hot vulcanized fluorosilicone rubber) have reached 3000 tons/year, with the main consumption concentrated in high-tech fields in developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan, and fluorosilicone materials for automobiles account for the main share. With the rapid development of China's economy, the consumption of fluorosilicone rubber is also increasing day by day. In 2004, the consumption of fluorosilicone materials reached over 200 tons. China's fluorine silicon materials mainly rely on imports, and there is no industrialized complete set of equipment in China. The construction of this project can fill the domestic gap, change the situation of relying on imports, and have broad market prospects.
